    All in favor of Lea making a bedside book with her beautiful photography, words of inspiration and memoir, and a cookbook with beautiful imagery…say “I”! 😁❤️

    I think childlike glee and wonder and excitement are some of the best things we can cultivate. yesterday my husband and I were walking down a hill and I remembered rolling down hills as a child... I couldn't resist! I am a grown woman, but rolling down that hill was wonderful! 😂 There are times to be serious and solemn, certainly. But oh the happiness of rolling down hills, splashing in puddles and catching fireflies. ❤️ There's nothing quite like it

      We are encouraged to have childlike faith. Can’t just do it. Need to practice childlike enjoyment also. Sounds like you’re on the right track 😉

    There is nothing wrong with living a slower, quieter, more beautiful life in the chaotic world we live. 🌻. Thank you for your sweet videos.

    Beautiful video! My mother passed away three months ago. She was a prolific artist, poet and writer. Her eyes always looked below the surface of things, to catch thier beauty. One thing she wrote when nearing her death was this: "We all desire the answers to questions in life, but might we drain the cup of wonder dry, by always asking 'why?'"

    This video made me slow down, take a deep breath, and cry a little. To make yourself slow down, even for a moment, can be so powerful. And thank you for the scripture that you list in your description. I use that as my verse to guide my personal daily Bible study. ❤️

    Thank you, Lea, for your beautiful videos. I have been reminding myself of Philipians 4:8 as well lately. I have for too long been caught up with my mind on the ugliness of worldly matters. I have to make a conscious effort to think & dwell on things that are worthy of praise. Yahweh Bless you and James, and make His face shine upon you 💛

    Appreciating the simple things. Feeling joy from the small things, that's often time what is missing in the lives of people who say they are unfulfilled in this world. I feel humbled by God's smallest creations, joy in the aroma of a flower, and love if a rain drop on my face. Look for peace of mind in the wonderment of just being. I think you are on the right track with this way of thinking, bless you 🙏.

    Well said! Spot on! If anyone is going to watch and be critical they need not watch. If we don’t look for the beauty and wonder of this life and only focus on the awful what are we here for?? I do not think by looking for the beauty in this life is a sin, good for all of us who can see the flowers amongst the weeds. Thank you for this.

    Romanticizing the day to day is a beautiful thing. It makes me think of how the Japanese approach what we often term as the mundane, as a meditation. There is so much wisdom in what you share and how the Japanese approach life. Something I appreciate more and more. ❤

    WOW! BREATH TAKING! I love how you romanticize His hand in everything! That's how I feel! I used to think back in my old life " oh it's just a leaf" "oh it's just a tree" "oh it's just water" "oh it's just grass and flowers"
    BUT NOW... "Wow look at this tree how beautiful He made it" "oh look at this leaf it feels different than this leaf" "oh look at at the wind blowing through the branches and how they move" "oh the sound of the stream when it falls from those rocks" "oh how the birds are satisfied when they feed from your nature"
    I could go on and on! I definitely see how you feel sister Lea! He has revived our dry bones and made them live again! HalleluYAH 😭🙏🙌🥰😍
